Well, oddly enough blogging hasn't been coming naturally to me--but I want to bring it back and anyway I read somewhere recently that blogging about blogging is a cardinal sin so that's enough on that.
My departure from Charlottesville is imminent (about three weeks now) so it's time to (a) live it up and (b) reflect on what I like about this place. One thing I've always liked is these taxis with the puns on them ("punishment" as Rat would say), so here's my favorite one of late which happens to be parked around the corner from my house on the regular.
Let's see what else: this week is Bike Week in Charlottesville which is pretty sweet. I got some fruit and reflectors and stuff at a "bicycle pit stop" today and entered a raffle to win an awesome oldschool bike from Syklos. All that stuff was from the city & biking advocacy group ACCT, but tomorrow Community Bikes gets in on the action with the first Bike-In Movie of the season
By the way, another thing I like about Charlottesville is Shelly's signs/posters/handwriting/etc., an example of which is the Bike Week sign (also, that might look like my car in the picture but it's not, I was on my bike, so there). For the Bike-In Movie we are showing THE GOONIES, which I'm pretty psyched for, seeing as it's basically the first movie I ever remember seeing. (I really hope it doesn't rain on us--it's raining here now.)
And I can't really talk Goonies without mentioning the NES game, which was one of my favorites as a kid. Watch the YouTube clip below for a trip down memory lane -- the audio at 4 minutes in is like the soundtrack to my childhood.
